Prime

11063 QY

"Eleven thousand years."

"That is what it has been. This empire, my empire," she turns and glances out at the city, "When The Box came oh so long ago, my ancestor stood against its evil and lead a small group of survivors to wake Rethelle, stopping the box and burying it away for eternity. We all know the story, those heroic few saving all sentient life," the queen lets out a brief sigh, turning back towards her assailants, "that was until now, until you came along," the queen's voice begins to rise in her frustration, "You people, you pirates, you evildoers, you want nothing more than to see this entire world burn."

She seethes.

"This is my empire! My entire life from the day I was born has been devoted to bettering life for all my citizens, and this is how you repay me? This: treason!" The queen waves her arm in the air, red with anger, "You! The Free Council; you claim to fight tyranny - I am not sure how many of you truly believe that, but it can not be many - yet you murder and burn everything in your warpath! I have done nothing to warrant this - I think you know that just as well as I do - but I will not let you destroy this civilization," Elleanor composes herself, trying to restrain her anger, "not again."

One of the attackers steps up, she recognized him immediately as the notorious mercenary Grathilrag, "Foolish girl. You think anybody here holds loyalties to anything other than money. Pyro pays well for my service, same for everyone else, and Pyro wants to see Prime and every other plane burnt to the ground," Grathilrag draws his sword and approaches the queen ready to kill.

"If war is what you want, war is what you will have!" Elleanor takes her staff and in a wide sweeping motion, sends Grathilrag's weapon flying off the balcony, "I'm finished with this secret war we have been fighting, lets see how you really stand! You and your peasant army built on lies, against the combined forces of the Q.I.A., The Ember Phalanx, and The Queensguard, not to mention the noble citizens that will arise to the beckon call and defend their homes from evils like you!" Elleanor begins casting a spell, moving her arms around and going through the motions as she had done so many times, "my lineage, the Morgray lineage, has defended Prime against evil for eleven thousand years, and I swear to see that it survives eleven thousand more." The Queen moves her arms in one final sweep, grabbing her staff and slamming it into the ground. Their is a massive bang and she is gone, the balcony is gone, and all that remains of Grathilrag and his men are corpses.
